Abstract

Foreground background estimation is an essential task in many video analysis applications. Considerable improvements are still possible, especially concerning light condition invariance. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm which attends to this requirement. We use modified Local Ternary Pattern (LTP) descriptors to find likely strong and stable “foreground gradient” locations. The proposed algorithm then classifies pixels as interior or exterior, using a shortest path algorithm, which proves to be robust against contour gaps.
